Meet & Greet and Wildlife Drawing Session with The Raptory

Jade Chen, owner/founder of The Raptory, a traveling wildlife education and falconry organization, will be bringing their lovely flying feathered companions Charizard (Eastern Screech Owl) and Poundcake (Peregrine Falcon hybrid) to Unkindness Art for a meet & greet, followed by a life drawing session with the birds!

The Meet & Greet program (11am-1pm, all ages) provides opportunities for one-on-one learning with the raptors with a larger audience. Guests will meet each bird in turn and learn about them, and about raptors and raptor conservation in general, from founder Jade Chen. Questions and photos with the birds encouraged!

The Wildlife Drawing Session (2pm-5pm, ages 16+) is perfect for creatives and open to every level of artist! Attendees will have time to hone their observational skills and creativity by sketching, drawing, painting (or whatever your medium of choice happens to be!) the raptors in a variety of still and action poses in this unique instructional. Artist and founder Jade Chen will be standing by offering raptor facts and any artistic assistance, tips, and tricks for drawing a living, moving subject.

Note: tickets to each of these events will be sold separately, but you’re welcome to come to both!
